Athlete of the week—and earned the prestigious NCCAA All-America honor for the year. “The conditioning during preseason was what I needed to have the best season I’ve ever had,” says Asia, who has been playing tennis since she was four. “I really enjoyed getting to know my team, and by the end of the year a lot of my teammates became some of my best friends.” She’s also grown in her faith at Malone. “Being surrounded by so many believers at Malone is such a blessing. Challenges are part of the college life, but a community of believers so close to me has helped me ﬁx my eyes on Christ’s purpose for my life.”
Open Frame Film Festival
Do you have a story to tell? Studentwritten, acted, directed, and musically scored ﬁlms are presented on the big screen of the 1,500-seat historic Canton Palace Theatre. Winners have competed and won at subsequent ﬁlm festivals, and have gone on to achieve success through the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities Best Semester—Los Angeles Film Studies Center.
Asia Harris dreams of traveling the world. She wants to see a Wimbledon Championship in London. She wants to play tennis professionally. And after a career as a tennis pro, she is excited to interact with patients as a physical therapist. “Malone has given me opportunities— and conﬁdence—to do my best and to never give up,” says the dean’s-listed sophomore exercise science major. Asia adds that even after only one year, she’s had opportunities that are helping her achieve her dreams. “Getting to know people from all different paths of life, backgrounds, and even other countries is awesome and something I really didn’t get to experience until I came to Malone,” she says. “These opportunities will greatly enhance my ability to relate to and communicate with my future patients.” Asia had a fantastic ﬁrst season as a freshman tennis player—she held the #1 singles spot for the Pioneers, had the best record on the team, and held the #3 doubles slot. She earned AllGLIAC Honorable Mention accolades, was a two-time NCCAA Student

white or gray when they are hatched, and they turn colors as their cells process the pigments in their food.” Jake leaves for Columbus the moment after his last Malone ﬁnal exam, and heads back the day before he starts his training for Malone’s Student Senate— this year he’ll be student body vice president. His brain seems to be an endless encyclopedia for animal facts—a skill that comes in handy for tests and quizzes during the school year. “I’ve always had a good memory,” he says. “And there are 90 animals in our department, so I learn more every day from studying, my coworkers, and the animals themselves.”
Enactus
Enactus is a community of student, academic, and business leaders committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to transform lives and shape a more sustainable world. The Malone chapter was named a Sam’s Club Step Up for Small Business Finalist, participating in the 2013 Enactus United States National Exposition. The regional champions were also successful in reaching their goal of collecting 5,000 pounds of food to assist local food banks as part of their “Let’s Can Hunger” campaign.
Jake Belair has been
enthralled with animals ever since he could talk. As he lives out his dream—even as a college student—of working with animals every day, the Zoo and Wildlife Biology major constantly is discovering more and more about animals in and out of the classroom. In the summers, Jake works as an animal encounters outreach assistant for the nationally renowned Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. He’s responsible for the care and handling of all animals, including the upkeep of their facilities, maintenance of their health status, writing daily reports, and interacting with guests at the zoo. His favorite animal is Tressel, a Tamandua—or anteater native to South America. He also enjoys the varying personalities of the beautiful Chilean ﬂamingos. “I love how they are all crazy in their own way,” he says, as he protects Eli, a 3-year-old bird, from Shorty and some others who are not so nice to Eli. “Notice the coral color of Eli?” Jake asks an inquisitive child. “Flamingos’ color comes from the kinds of food they eat, mostly algae and plankton from the water. All ﬂamingos are

Into the streets
Getting ahead means nothing without giving back. So, in your ﬁrst week, you’ll join other new students to roll up your sleeves and help the community. Here, you’ll become acquainted with volunteer opportunities for a wide variety of organizations. Painting, landscaping, playing with children, animal shelter residents, or the elderly —this program will not only introduce you to fellow classmates as you work side by side, it will also introduce you to ways to serve that can carry you through your college experience.
If there’s something new, hip, or just plain fun going on at the Akron Canton Airport (CAK), you can be sure that Malone alumna ryan (karp) hollingsworth is involved. As communications and social media manager, she’s hosted speed-eating contests, live tweeted Air Force One’s arrival at CAK, started a Facebook page long before social media was standard, and started Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram accounts. For these efforts, her team was awarded ﬁrst place for Social Media Campaigns in the 2013 Airports Council International-North America Excellence in Communications Award. “I’ve always been observant of pop culture: movies, books, technology, media—I’m a brand watcher,” Ryan says. “So when I started off at CAK, I had freedom to execute my ideas. I’ve always treated us like a big brand, even when nobody else was doing social media. I never let ‘small’ enter our mindset. I always try to give people an interesting look at some of the behind-the-scenes.” Ryan is married to fellow alumnus
At a brainstorming meeting, someone suggested building a model of the building using LEGO® blocks. Brian put out a call for volunteers, and with the help of professional architects, the project took off. The model used more than 12,000 pieces and took 120 hours to complete. “It was a lot of fun, and we received an amazing response,” Brian says. Both are active members of the Canton and Akron communities. Brian is a member of Torchbearers of Akron, a board member for the Firestone Park YMCA, hospital liaison for the Akron Children’s Emerging Leaders Board, and pastpresident of the Malone Young Alumni Community. He was the 2013 Malone Young Alumnus of the Year. Ryan is vice chair of ystark!, sits on the boards of TomTod Ideas and the Malone Young Alumni Community, and is active in the Akron Area PRSA.

Brian Hollingsworth,
whom she met while working on Malone’s student newspaper, the Aviso. Brian, associate development ofﬁcer at Akron Children’s Hospital, also implements creativity into his work. Recently, the hospital broke ground for a new critical care tower, and they wanted to do something special for the ceremony.

Changed lives
What is YOUR GIFT? Excel at Malone.
Being a Pioneer means becoming equipped for success in every area of your life. Basketball standout Isiah Elliott is leading his team to victory as he strives for success in and out of the classroom. The dynamic guard who attends college in his own backyard (he graduated from Canton McKinley High School) rose quickly up the ranks as one of the best players in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, as the Pioneers enter into the NCAA Division II era. In addition to surpassing 1,000 career points his junior year, Isiah was the ﬁrst basketball player in the GLIAC to
earn “Player of the Week” award three times last season. Isiah’s success helped the Pioneers make some noise in their ﬁrst season in the gruelling GLIAC, earning a sweep over the defending champion while notching some other impressive wins. Despite missing the last seven games due to an injury, Isiah also: > Earned National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) East Region Player of the year award, > Was named to the NCCAA AllAmerica Team, First Team, > Was named First Team All-GLIAC. “Every year Isiah gets better and better, and adds something to his game,” says Coach Tim Walker, who was named NCCAA Coach of the Year. Isiah is majoring in Sport Management and is looking forward to an exciting senior year (and maybe a few acrobatic dunks) on the basketball court.
Pioneer athletic teams are committed to being Christ-Centered, AthleteFocused, and Coach-Driven. Propelled to succeed on the court and in the classroom, Malone athletes have earned numerous national accolades over the years and continue to compete at a high level as we enter our ﬁrst year as full members of NCAA Division II and the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC). We challenge you to join us in our quest for championship play and changed lives. In 2011–12, 70 Malone athletes earned Academic Achievement Awards from the NCAA Athletic Directors Association for earning GPAs of 3.5 or higher. The Athletic Department’s Academic Success Rating was an impressive 98%— tops among GLIAC members.
Athletic Scholarships
Athletic scholarships are determined by each coach on an individual basis. To apply for a scholarship, ﬁll out our athletics questionnaire at malonepioneers.com and apply to Malone at www.malone.edu/apply. Video and schedules can be sent to each individual coach. Your ﬁrst step toward an athletic scholarship is registering with the NCAA Eligibility Center. If you want to participate in Division II athletics as a freshman, you must ﬁrst register and be certiﬁed by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Center. Be sure to register, so you will be eligible to play and practice your freshman year. This form is available from your high school counseling ofﬁce or at www.ncaa.org. There is a one-time registration fee.
Worldview Forum
No one except God sees or interprets reality without a worldview. Every song we sing, every ﬁlm we see, every conversation we have, every sermon we hear, every professor who teaches us, every decision we make—the totality of what we believe and what we receive comprises our worldviews. Worldview Forums are events held four times per year that provide an opportunity to practice critical thinking and civil dialog in the comparison of various worldviews in a professionally moderated, academic environment.
The Aviso AVW
Malone’s online student newspaper, The Aviso AVW (Audio. Visual. Web.), is enjoying unprecedented success, receiving three prestigious recognitions when granted the Award of Excellence by the Evangelical Press Association in the campus digital category. The Aviso has also taken ﬁrst place for Best Collegiate Newspaper Website in its division from the Ohio Newspaper Association, and was named a ﬁnalist in the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker contest. Malone is the only Ohio university among the ﬁnalists in the online category.
multicultural services
Celebrating diversity is what we’re all about at Malone University. We host interesting programs like “Listening In” to historic voices. You can take part in awesome events like the annual Culturefest celebration of cultures, traditions, and foods—or join one of our student groups like the Malone International Student Association. You can also get involved with the One Voice Gospel Choir!
